Fields of Mistria Farm Clearing — What to Chop First

Quick answers

Open a rectangle you can water every day.
Walk around giant stumps until tools catch up.
Rainy afternoons are good chop days.
Wood and stone also feed early quests—park extras in a chest.
Pretty paths can wait.

Clear a crop core

Hoe and water a small patch near the house. Expand only when mornings feel automatic. Screenshots from our save still show porch debris for weeks—that is fine.

Materials vs beauty

Chopping feeds wood quests (like early carpenter requests). Keep a stack in a chest. Do not clear decorative trees you like until you need the wood.
